Global Forex & CFD Broker | 1:10,000 Leverage
Most brokers advertise their headline leverage figure and then reduce it — during news events, before weekends, on large accounts, across certain instruments, or when volatility spikes. Capital Street FX does not. The leverage you set on your account is the leverage you trade with. Always. On every instrument. At every balance level. During every market condition. No reductions, no caps, no surprises.

Maximum Leverage
Leverage at most brokers is conditional. The headline number — 1:500, 1:1000, 1:2000 — is the maximum possible figure under ideal conditions. In practice, your effective leverage varies constantly based on four factors that most brokers apply simultaneously but rarely advertise clearly.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Max leverage offered | 1:10,000 | Up to 1:Unlimited* | Up to 1:2,000 | Up to 1:1,000 |
| Leverage during NFP / FOMC | Full — no cut | Reduced to 1:200 | Capped at 1:500 | Varies by broker |
| Leverage held over weekend | Full — no cut | Reduced Friday close | Capped at 1:500 | Varies by broker |
| Leverage above $5,000 balance | Full — no cut | Reduced by tier | Same rate | Often reduced |
| Leverage on indices | 1:10,000 | Capped 1:200 | 1:500 | Typically 1:100–200 |
| Leverage on crypto | 1:10,000 | Capped 1:100 | Capped 1:20 | Typically 1:2–20 |

Leverage is automatically assigned based on the client’s total deposit. The stop-out level is calculated as a percentage of the higher of account equity or balance at any given time.

No. Capital Street FX does not reduce leverage during any news event, economic data release, or central bank decision — including Non-Farm Payrolls, FOMC rate decisions, CPI releases, Bank of England announcements, ECB decisions, or any other scheduled or unscheduled event. Your account leverage remains exactly as set at all times. Many brokers apply temporary leverage caps of 1:500 or lower during these windows — CSFX does not. Your margin requirements on open positions will not change because of a news event.
No. Capital Street FX does not apply weekend leverage reductions on any instrument. A position opened Thursday with leverage set to 1:10,000 is still at 1:10,000 on Friday evening, Saturday, and Sunday. Many brokers automatically reduce leverage on open positions before the weekend close — particularly on forex, gold, and oil — to manage their own gap risk. CSFX does not apply any such automatic reduction. Your leverage is fixed continuously, not just during trading hours.
No. Capital Street FX does not apply dynamic or tiered leverage based on account equity, balance size, or the total volume of open positions. Some brokers automatically reduce maximum leverage as account equity exceeds thresholds — for example, dropping from 1:2000 to 1:500 once an account exceeds $5,000, or to 1:200 above $10,000. At CSFX, your leverage setting is fixed regardless of how large your account becomes or how many simultaneous positions you hold. A $100,000 account with leverage set to 1:10,000 has exactly the same leverage as a $100 account with the same setting.
Yes. The 1:10,000 leverage at Capital Street FX applies universally across all instruments — all 66 forex pairs, all 47 indices, all 629 stock CFDs, all 46 commodity and metal CFDs, all 21 crypto CFDs, all 24 ETF CFDs, and all bond instruments. There are no instrument-specific leverage caps, no asset class restrictions, and no market-type penalties. If your account is set to 1:10,000, that is your leverage on every trade you open on any market across any of the three CSFX platforms.
Capital Street FX offers the following fixed leverage settings: 1:100, 1:200, 1:500, 1:1,000, 1:2,000, 1:3,000, 1:5,000, and 1:10,000. You select your preferred leverage when opening your account and can adjust it at any time through your account dashboard. Your selected leverage applies immediately to all new positions across all instruments on all platforms — AltX, FxyFi, and Act. It remains fixed at your chosen level until you manually change it. The 1:10,000 setting is available on all account types from Basic ($100 minimum deposit) to VIP ($10,000 minimum deposit).
Open an account from $100. Set your leverage. Trade across 2,000+ instruments with one fixed setting.
